"Once you get through a lot of the shock that comes with The Fall being a tablet conversion and all the little problems it has, fortunately you'll find that it's still a fun new slice of Human Revolution." ... Read full review

"Image of our imminent future is now on PC. The Fall could have been a much better game with just a little bit of push, but right now, it's just an opportunity to PC gamers to experience the iOS version. It's not a bad game, it's just below the expectations." ... Read full review

"During it's four hours, Deus Ex: The Fall, presents a watered down, effectively castrated version of all the elements that made Human Revolution a true modern gaming classic. It may look like Deus Ex in a few strategically taken screenshots, but the actual experience is anything but. You will keep playing, desperately hoping for the glimpses of genius that are alluded to as part of the regular franchise, but real PC gamers should stay well away from this cheap cash-in that only tarnishes the reputation of one of the most sterling franchises in gaming.

"There’s just no reason to play Deus Ex: The Fall, even for big-time Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution fans. You can get the same experience out of reading a Wiki entry online. Better yet, if you must play the game, grab it on a mobile device, where it will actually work." ... Read full review

This part of the series was not appreciated, but the graphics were bad (since they didn’t plan to do it on the PC at all). Yes, the gameplay is cut.

This isn't that bad of a game as some recent greenlits are, but still its length and quality asks for a sale. The music is great but the storyThis isn't that bad of a game as some recent greenlits are, but still its length and quality asks for a sale. The music is great but the story is a bit shallow. Enemies are a bit annoying if you go on the stealth route because if they detect you even for a single frame as you shoot at them from cover, the alarm is raised instantly. Game settings are limited and apparenty doesn't support my monitor's native resolution so I had to play it in window. Graphics is limited but at least not demanding. In conclusion, it provides some fun for a couple of hours. Expand

tl;dr: 100% skippable, unless you're a true completionist with spare 5-7h

positive:
- the things that were directly copied from DX:HR (part of soundtrack, some design elements, augmentation system)
- infinite backpack capacity (or rather no such thing, just inventory/store are one thing and you can hold any amount of crap and buy things at any time, not that it's particularly immersive)
- bearable story & quests
- some care with world design
- can remap keys :-D (lots of complaints in reviews about the lack of that option, I guess they patched it...)

negative:
- 2002 graphics, literally :D
- even at lowest mouse sensitivity setting had to bring sensitivity down to 800dpi (3000dpi normally), which meant that I needed an area of roughly 50x50cm for menus... Thankfully I have a dpi button on the mouse, so every time I esced, went into inventory, hacking, or any other game menu, I had to switch dpi and then switch it back in-game. Not sure if anyone actually started the port on PC before releasing it.
- extremely clunky movement mechanics (no sprinting or jumping, the least realistic falling I've experienced since... maybe ever)
- extremely clunky world and character design
- horrid dialogues and voice acting
- no creative content that would go beyond DX:HR in terms of lore
- horrid stealth and combat mechanics
- virtually no interaction with npcs outside of dialogues
- ridiculously easy regardless of gameplay style, and no difficulty setting

The graphical options consist of AA and V-Sync,Deus Ex: The FaIl (with a big I in the title) is probably the worst PC port Ive ever seen. The graphical options consist of AA and V-Sync, which is perhaps fine because the game looks like CRAP anyway. There is completely NO difference between iOS and PC version. It looks bad even for an iPad game. And you might call me a console peasant so Im not a graphics whore. The animation is also terrible and almost every piece of it was scrapped from Human Revolution, so the walking here seems worse than it was in Doom. The combat is filled with so many dumbed down mechanics of Human Revolution and those that werent dumbed down dont bloody work! You now have the revolutionary option to buy items at any place, making exploration basically meaningless. The user interface seems unchanged to the touch screen counter parts and is a horror to navigate through. The mouse controls in the game are almost worse than if you would play on the touch screen. Maybe the controller would work better but I havent tried that. This game is a piece of horse**** and completely ruins the reputation of Square Enix and all other companies involved in this PC port atrocity. Shame on you, Square. Expand

It is good to play DE:TF on my iPad, not on my top PC.
It is bad, very very bad. Please, make the second episode, not the port!
